If there were constant "unanimity", why would we have had the Council of Jerusalem? Why would we have had any Synods or Ecumenical Councils at all?
Your grasp of the history is weak-to-nonexistent if you think the story of the Catholic Church has been a story of unanimity--- or that that's what we "claim"!! !! Once again, your argument is based on what you "think" we teach, practice or believe, not on what we actually do.
Again (sigh): please do not tell me what I believe. ASK what I believe. TELL what YOU believe.
Your posts will be more accurate then on the whole, I trust, as well as thoughtful and interesting. I'm sure of it.
We've been told on these threads there is unanimity among the ECFs upon which Roman Catholics hang their beliefs....so yes...this is what we've been told Roman Catholics believe.
If there were constant "unanimity", why would we have had the Council of Jerusalem?
After the Council decided there were in full agreement...unlike Rome at Trent.
Everything I posted regarding Roman Catholic beliefs on Mary was from Roman Catholic sources. I'm giving you what Rome is teaching. You may not believe it but it is what is being taught.
No matter what we THINK about Catholicism; the fact still remains that there is EVIDENCE it's practices and beliefs HAVE changed over time; thus DESTROYING the claim of any continuing authenticity.
